I have a DAC (Schitt Bifrost) that I like. If I buy a basic Bluetooth receiver, like the Emotiva BTR-1, with digital output and run it through the DAC, is there any reason to consider an all-in-one streamer, like the Bluesound Node, for example? Do they have benefits over a simple BT receiver and DAC? I mostly listen to Spotify when streaming.
I did a comparison between wiim pro and my MacBook out to my modi3+ and the laptop was significantly better sounding on my system compared to wiim. I assume usb output is better then the spdif output from the wiim, I did try rca output on the wiim as well, but same results. I sent the wiim back. Maybe if wiim comes out with a USB outputs it would be better.
